How are solar cells measured?

The measured values for voltage, current and temperature are recorded by separate and externally triggered calibrated multimeters. Both n- and p-type solar cells with edge lengths between 20 and 175mm and short-circuit currents of up to 15A are measured. Figure 2. CalTeC’s I–V curve measurement facility.

How are solar cells calibrated?

Three main measuring systems are required for the calibration of solar cells: one to determine the active area, another to determine the spectral responsivity, and a third one to measure the I–V characteristics.

What are the characteristics of a solar cell?

Some of these covered characteristics pertain to the workings within the cell structure (e.g., charge carrier lifetimes) while the majority of the highlighted characteristics help establish the macro per-formance of the finished solar cell (e.g., spectral response, maximum power out-put).

How do you calculate the spectral responsivity of a solar cell?

Since the pixel area is known from the previous calibration, the area of the sample under test, or the area of the mask used to define the active solar cell area, can be calculated. To determine the spectral responsivity of the DUT, the relative DSR is measured between 280 and 1,200nm in 10nm steps at 25°C.

How does a solar cell work?

A transimpedance amplifier developed in-house keeps the solar cell under short-circuit conditions and outputs a voltage signal proportional to the current generated by the monochromatic light. The output signal is then measured with a lock-in amplifier. WPVS reference solar cells calibrated at the PTB are used for calibrating the DSR facility.
